Crescendo Photography

WHO AM I? I am a wife, a daughter, a sister, a dedicated dog-mommy, a friend to some amazing people, a photographer, a traveler and an all around goof! I love a good joke, but only know one. I love escaping into a book or in a dark movie theater. I love to cook and have a serious sweet tooth. I always stick up for the under-dog. I don't believe in hate. I have had a camera since I was a child and feel blessed that my vocation is my hobby. I love photographing people and have been fortunate enough to work with some really awesome folks. I can’t wait to meet my next fabulous client!

WHAT DOES CRESCENDO MEAN? When I named the business I wanted something that captured the importance of photography - the way it connects us to our past and links us to the future. The word crescendo (kruh-shin-doh) is a musical term and means 'a climactic point or peak'. To me it is a perfect way to sum up why I do what I do. All the milestones we celebrate should be documented - the slices of life, our families and the history taking place around us.

WHEN DO YOU WORK? Since this is a full-time business, I work most every day. I may be shooting, meeting with clients, editing images, designing lay-out, marketing or networking but if you leave me a message or drop me a line I will get back to you as soon as I can.

WHERE CAN WE SHOOT? We can shoot in studio or on location. I love to do destination work and will travel almost anywhere. I have worked all over the United States, Mexico and photographed stock images as far away as Egypt, Cambodia and Japan.

WHY HIRE ME? You value the art of photography. You like my style. You want to work with a photographer who is skilled at making people relax. You need a photographer who doesn’t crack under pressure. You want a photographer who is a legitimate full-time business with the necessary experience, pro equipment and insurance. You want a photographer who provides superior client care (responds to your calls or e-mails promptly, adheres to time lines, delivers exceptional portraits, etc). You want a photographer who is fun to be around. Need more reasons? Give me a call!
